  • Read a PPM image, apply dithering and save it to a file:
    ppmdither path/to/image.ppm > path/to/file.ppm
  • Specify the desired number of shades for each primary color:
    ppmdither -red 2 -green 3 -blue 2 path/to/image.ppm > path/to/file.ppm
  • Specify the dimensions of the dithering matrix:
    ppmdither -dim 2 path/to/image.ppm > path/to/file.ppm
